Default QA36 chain cover

Does anyone leave the cabin cover off the QA snow thrower for ease of maintenance or is it just too dangerous.

I don't know that it's more super dangerous one way or the other. I try to avoid rotating parts as much as possible, covers or not. And if I took it off, I'd have to find someplace to store it, so it just seems easier to leave it on.

I do suppose it keeps crap from getting down in there so easily though.

More out of cleanliness than safety, but I leave mine on to keep it from slinging back grease/snow toward me. When I first got mine, the needle bearings were shot so they got a pump of grease every use and as a result, the front left tire received a nice coat of grease as well. At least it was that way till offseason when I could do maintenance and replace them.
IMHO, if the shield is in good shape and not causing any issues, I would leave it on.

I’ve had this thing for years and never noticed that if you raise it up you can get at all the fittings and the chain adjustment with the cover on. Don’t know why it stuck in my mind that I couldn’t. Thanks guys. On it stays.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
